This question is better addressed on matplotlib-users....
It looks like either you do not have numpy or pygtk properly
installed. Note also you need to eh gtk-devel packages to compile the
gtk extensions, as described at
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/installing.html
As a quick check for numpy and pygtk, you can do
>>> import numpy
>>> import gtk
but you'll still need the gtk-devel packages
If it still doesn't work,
> rm -rf build
> python setup.py build >& build.out
and post output to the matplotlib-devel list.
